Frequently Asked Questions
Is the drinking straw covered to keep germs away at school?
Yes, the pop-up lid covers the silicone straw when not in use, protecting the drinking surface from dust, classroom germs, and contact with other items in a backpack or lunchbox.
Is the stainless steel food-grade and BPA-free?
The bottle is made from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, which is BPA-free, phthalate-free, and the trusted standard for child hydration products.
Can the bottle break or shatter if my child drops it?
Unlike glass or cheap plastic bottles, the double-wall stainless steel construction is drop- and dent-resistant, so it will not shatter if dropped on the playground, cafeteria floor, or kitchen tile.
Does the lid have any small parts that could be a choking hazard?
The straw and lid are designed for children ages 3 and up, and the components are sized to meet safety standards for young children, though as with any kids' product, adult supervision is recommended for very young toddlers.
Is the exterior of the bottle safe to touch after hours in the sun?
The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps the cold in and the heat out, so the exterior stays comfortable to the touch even after the bottle has been sitting in a hot car or on a sunny playground bench.
Is this bottle safer than a glass water bottle for kids?
Yes, stainless steel is far safer than glass for children because it will not shatter into sharp pieces if dropped, while still offering the same food-safe drinking surface.
Is the FUNTAINER safer than a plastic bottle with a character print?
Yes, the 18/8 stainless steel eliminates the risk of BPA, phthalates, and microplastic leaching that is a concern with some printed plastic kids' bottles, especially in warm conditions.
How does this compare to a sippy cup or straw cup with a plastic valve?
Unlike plastic sippy cups, the FUNTAINER uses medical-grade silicone for the straw and has no small valves that can harbor mold, making it a more hygienic choice for daily use.
Is the lid easy for a child to operate without adult help?
Yes, the push-button flip top is simple enough for kids ages 3 and up, which means children do not need to fight with a complicated lid in the middle of a busy school day.
Will the bottle leak and create a slip hazard in a backpack?
When the flip top is closed, the bottle is designed to be leak-resistant, which is important for protecting schoolbooks, electronics, and lunchboxes from water damage.
Is the bottle approved for use at most schools and daycares?
Yes, the leak-resistant design, covered straw, and food-grade materials make the FUNTAINER compliant with most school and daycare hydration policies, and many teachers recommend it specifically.
Can I put ice in the bottle, and is there any safety concern with that?
Yes, ice works well with the wide mouth and insulated design, and because the bottle is double-walled, the outside stays dry and safe to handle even as ice melts inside.
Is the bottle dishwasher safe, or do I need to hand wash for safety?
The bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe, which makes it easy to fully sanitize on a regular basis — an important safety feature for a bottle used by a young child every day.
How do I clean the FUNTAINER water bottle and straw?
The bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe. For everyday cleaning, hand wash with warm soapy water and a bottle brush, and remove the silicone straw to rinse it thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.
Can I put hot liquids like tea or hot chocolate in this bottle?
No, the FUNTAINER is designed for cold beverages only. The vacuum insulation and push-button lid are not intended for hot liquids, which can also pose a burn risk for children.
How do I replace the straw if it gets worn out?
Genuine Thermos FUNTAINER replacement straws are sold separately and simply push into the lid assembly. Removing the old straw and snapping in a new one takes only a few seconds with no tools required.
Does this bottle fit in standard car cup holders?
Yes, the 2.7 inch diameter is designed to fit in most standard car cup holders, stroller cup holders, and the side pockets of kids backpacks.
Is the bottle compatible with standard straw-cleaning brushes?
Yes, the removable silicone straw fits most standard kids' straw cleaning brushes available at most grocery and big box stores.
What is included in the box when I order this bottle?
Each box contains one 12 ounce FUNTAINER stainless steel water bottle with the integrated push-button lid, the removable silicone straw, and the character artwork pre-applied. Nothing else needs to be purchased separately to begin using it.
Is this bottle safe and free of harmful chemicals?
Yes, the bottle is made from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel and is BPA-free, phthalate-free, and lead-free, meeting the safety standards that parents expect from a children's hydration product.
How long can I expect the bottle to last with daily use?
With normal daily use, the FUNTAINER typically lasts for several school years. The stainless steel body resists dents, the lid mechanism is built for repeated use, and replacement straws are available if the original ever wears out.
What is the difference between a kids insulated water bottle and a regular kids water bottle?
An insulated kids water bottle uses double-wall vacuum construction to keep water cold for many hours, while a regular kids water bottle is typically single-wall plastic that lets water reach room temperature within an hour and often sweats with condensation.
